Ribosomes

(eukaryotic vs. prokaryotic; where formed; function in protein synthesis; also “small subunit RNA” as a tool for studying evolution )

**Nucleus:** spliceosomes, transcription, RNA processing

**Endoplasmic reticulum**, protein secretion and lipid synthesis (rough and smooth)

Golgi ( known as Golgi complex, Golgi bodies, Golgi apparatus; role in transport and sorting?)

Lysosomes/ Phagoocytosis (and at least two genetic diseases associated with lysosomes)

Mitochondria (including genes. Do not describe the stages of respiration. Include a disease.

Cytoskeleton: Microtubules or mitotic spindle (colchicine, vincristine, vinblastine. Role in cell division. Do not go through stages of mitosis)

Cytoskeleton: Microfilaments (Actin filaments)

Membrane proteins : receptors for various molecules (ex. HIV, hormones)

Membrane proteins: transport.

Cilia and flagella (eukaryotic cells only)

Chloroplasts (and other plastids. Endosymbiosis. Do not detail the stages of photosynthesis)

Chromosomal structure (do not include the stages of mitosis; include telomeres; diseases caused by too many or too few chromosomes; translocation, deletion, insertion)

Intercellular junctions: tight, desmosomes, gap.
